Description: Augustine's attacks on the circumcelliones, bands of dispossessed Donatist peasants who were ravaging North Africa, compare closely with those of Cicero against the populares in the Pro Sestio, particularly in the use of such words as furor, audax, and perditus. Augustine's use of Cicero's political terminology may indicate that Augustine viewed the Donatists as an essentially political movement. [Da APh]
